• Balquhidder - After departing Edinburgh, the journey heads north through the central belt of the country. The guide will captivate with tales of Scotland’s past heroes like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, who made this region their own. Royal palaces, giant mythical Kelpies, and the ancient stronghold of Stirling Castle will be visible. The first stop of the day is surrounded by the lush hills of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Stretch your legs, enjoy a coffee or some baked goods, and refresh before rejoining the bus to continue north.
• Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park - As the tour travels through the ‘Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park,’ the bus weaves through hills, mountains, and Glens. These remote places were once inhabited by Highland Clans, including Scotland’s most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor, often considered the Scottish Robin Hood. Look out across the landscape and imagine the past as the guide shares remarkable stories of betrayal and revenge. If some of the famous ‘Hairy Highland Coos’ are spotted, there might be a stop for a selfie.
• Glencoe - Glencoe was the site of one of Scotland’s most shocking massacres. As you gaze at the haunting hills, the Glen is eerily silent. In the 17th century, one of the worst acts of betrayal occurred here. The guide will recount the details of this betrayal. The sorrow in the mountains of the ‘weeping valley’ can almost be felt. Above all, Glencoe is one of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes, a highlight of any tour to the Scottish Highlands!
• Fort William - The tour then passes through Fort William and past the spectacular Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the British Isles. The Nevis Range towers over the winding road as the journey continues to Glenfinnan.
• Glenfinnan Viaduct - Arriving in time to watch the Hogwarts Express (Jacobite Steam Train) cross the magnificent Glenfinnan Viaduct, this stunning viewpoint also marks where Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) raised his standard before the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. Climb to the top of the monument for the best views of the Glen, as the guide introduces the dramatic story of the ‘Young Pretender’ and how his actions changed European history forever.
• Commando Monument - Along the route, there will be a stop at the Commando Memorial. In 1942, this setting became the training ground for Britain’s Special Forces. Harsh, unforgiving, and breathtakingly beautiful, a statue of the heroes overlooks the Nevis range. Bring a camera – this is undoubtedly one of the favorite photo-stops in all of Scotland.

Here, weather permitting, Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the United Kingdom, can also be spotted.

• Cairngorms National Park - Heading south, the tour travels through Cairngorm National Park where red squirrels, roe deer, red deer, soaring buzzards, pine martens, golden eagles, and osprey can be found. The final stop of the day is Pitlochry.
• Pitlochry - Pitlochry is situated in the heart of the stunning scenery of Highland Perthshire. The town sits below Beinn Bhracaigh (Ben Vrackie), the speckled mountain, and beside the River Tummel, in some of the most magnificent scenery in Scotland. With a backdrop of surrounding hills and beautiful woodlands, it is wonderful walking country.
• Forth Bridge - As the tour re-enters Edinburgh from the North, views of Scotland’s greatest piece of engineering, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Forth Bridge, will be seen. This 19th-century engineering marvel was once the world’s longest cantilever bridge. Today it neighbors the 20th-century Forth Road Bridge and the 21st-century Queensferry Crossing, which opened in 2017. Three spectacular bridges, from three different centuries, span the Firth of Forth, connecting the capital city and the Kingdom of Fife.
